Question

To the nearest tent what is the area of circle whose diameter is 21 inches

Answer 1

Answer:

It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is given by

A = pi *r^2

We can find the radius by taking 1/2 of the diameter

r= 1/2(21)

r = 10.5

A = pi * (10.5)^2

A = 110.25 pi

Approximating pi with 3.14

A = 110.25 * 3.14

A =346.185 in^2

To the nearest tenth

A = 346.2 in^2

If we use the pi button on the calculator

A = 346.3605901

Rounding to the nearest tenth

A = 346.4 in^2

You need to determine whether you approximate pi by 3.14 or use the pi button on your calculator
